- They — CBS News destroyer Bari Weiss, Harry Potter author JK Rowling, Free Speech Union founder Toby Young — screamed CANCEL CULTURE... then went silent while Trump gutted free speech. ✅ New from @katelynburns.com, featuring @parkermolloy.com
- The long weekend is over, catch up on Cancel Me, Daddy. We are on YouTube and all the major podcasting apps. This week we did a retrospective on the infamous Harper's free speech letter and how its signers have gone mostly silent with Trump in power. youtu.be/NF-M3Nz0azE
- Fortnite Leaker Wanted To 'Ruin' Harry Potter Surprise Because J.K. Rowling's A Transphobe kotaku.com/fortnite-harry-pott…
- As we warned in 2022: "There's no point to being a JK Rowling [or Harry Potter] fan. Everything she releases from now on will be spoiled, so it's gonna suck. Forever. (We promise.)"
- Harry Potter is arriving this Winterfest. We will not be buying. #TransRights #FuckJKRowling
- Damn right.
- Five years ago we asked Harry Potter author JK Rowling when she plans on disavowing and condemning a known racist transphobe who has, in the years since, attracted neo-Nazis performing actual "Sieg Heil" salutes in support of her bigotry.
- Rowling has not disavowed or condemned this bigot or her. In fact, by 2023, the Harry Potter author was publicly pledging to support the known racist transphobe's antics financially and legally:
- Keira Knightley was "not aware" of 'Harry Potter' boycott when she joined audiobook cast for JK Rowling series: "I'm very sorry"
- She either has a poor management team, doesn't listen to them, or doesn't investigate the projects she's been offered very closely... bsky.app/profile/wiza...
- Yes to this, 1000%. Entertainment journalists must ask the actors who have chosen to support and enrich Harry Potter author JK Rowling after she's spent the better part of a decade turning into one of the world's ugliest queerphobic bigots: "Why?"
- Here's a different version naming & shaming the Harry Potter TV show actors: bsky.app/profile/mike...
- Some more actors for the shitlist, made possible by them choosing to work for & reward Harry Potter author JK Rowling, after she has very publicly poured her entire existence into becoming an anti-queer bigot.
- Harry Potter director Chris Columbus says another reunion is "impossible" because of JK Rowling's incessant bigotry. "Everyone in the cast has their own opinion," the filmmaker says, "which is different from her opinion."
-
View full threadWhile Columbus "previously expressed interest in adapting [Harry Potter and the Cursed Child], he now sees "no chance" of that materializing due to JK Rowling's incessant bigotry. www.thetimes.com/culture/film...
- It’s only recently that [Columbus has] begun to feel his sense of “ownership” over the Potterverse. “I look back and I realise that I cast the film, with my team. And we created the world, the look and the costumes,” he says. www.thetimes.com/culture/film...
- "I haven't spoken to Miss Rowling in a decade or so, so I have no idea what's going on with her, but I keep very close contact with Daniel Radcliffe, and I just spoke to him a few days ago. I still have a great relationship with all the kids in the cast." ew.com/chris-columb...
- Four young activists from Trans Kids Deserve Better protested at the Palace Theatre in London last night, home of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. They gave speeches imploring the public to stop funding J.K. Rowling, and were threatened with violence. transkidsdeservebetter.org/trans-youth-...

- "The activists left the scene after being threatened to be stabbed." transkidsdeservebetter.org/trans-youth-...
- "TKDB took this action because for the last five years, the Harry Potter author has used her fame to spread anti-trans vitriol, both online and through her financial power." transkidsdeservebetter.org/trans-youth-...
- You're seeing a flood of products newly licensed for Harry Potter because, well, they've opened the floodgates for licensing Harry Potter, hoping to extract what they can before it's too late. Companies announcing new products are finding their customers aren't happy about it.

- Previously:
- "Our editor is a woman, our assistant editor is a woman, our newsroom has more than double the amount of female reporters than it does male. Standing up for transgender people who have been relentlessly bullied by the public & media doesn’t make us “anti-women”, it makes us human."
- "I would like to take the opportunity to defend this newspaper against Rowling's frankly ridiculous description, and explain why 'anti-trans' is indeed suitable language for these activists." www.thenational.scot/news/2525321...
- The contrast between how Harry Potter contributors Stephen Fry and Jason Isaacs talk about JK Rowling is stark. Isaacs, recently dismissive of the worldwide negative reaction to Rowling's vitriol, says he only met her once in passing. Fry says he used to dine with Rowling regularly.
- Stephen Fry today: "[Rowling] says things that are inflammatory and contemptuous, mocking and add to a terribly distressing time for trans people." www.thenational.scot/news/2525158...
- Jason Isaacs recently: "I don’t know [Rowling] well enough, and I’m a straight white man in late middle age, and it’s not for me to opine on feminist and trans issues." www.thepinknews.com/2025/06/17/j...
- Stephen Fry turns on JK Rowling Star who narrated Harry Potter books says the author has been 'radicalised by TERFs' and is 'a lost cause' www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
- This will absolutely BOIL Harry Potter author JK Rowling's blood. Fry is an internationally recognized star in his own right, he's British, it's being published in a British media outlet, and he's also gay.
- 100% endorse this course of action for them
- Harry Potter and Cormoran Strike author JK Rowling is an obnoxious blowhard. Our mission since 2020 has been to highlight JKR's incessant anti-queer bigotry, and it's been a huge success. The world is finally understanding she's dangerous. Vindictive. Spoiled. Revoltingly offensive.
- JK Rowling is "as much of a cartoon super villain as she is a dangerous and out-of-touch fearmonger." It's time to leave Harry Potter behind. ✅ www.salon.com/2025/04/22/t...

- Quick reminder that Draco Malfoy actor Tom Felton 'liked' Harry Potter author JK Rowling's initial anti-trans tweet in 2019, and then 'unliked' it when called out, and then refused later to say if he agrees or disagrees with her bigotry when asked directly by a reporter.

- There's a reason you keep seeing Tom Felton still involved with the Harry Potter franchise when his peers have left JK Rowling and her bigotry far behind them...
- Here's video of the Tom Felton interview where he refused to disavow JK Rowling's bigotry. Since then the Draco Malfoy actor has made numerous paid promotional appearances for the Harry Potter franchise & will reprise his role in Rowling's stage play:
- "I’ve left the ‘Potterverse’ firmly in the past after JK Rowling’s offensive comments on transgender people and think the entire franchise needs to be forgotten about." ✅
